"Patriarch, what are you..."

An elder from the Luo Family watched as Lu Sheng walked out of the Luo Family's premises and asked urgently.

"They've bullied us right at our doorstep, should we just sit idly at home?"

"Naturally... we must make these two families bleed!"

Lu Sheng's voice drifted from afar, sounding somewhat erratic.

The elder of the Luo Family was taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately, his expression changed drastically. He quickly shouted towards Lu Sheng, who had already walked out of the Luo Family estate.

"But Patriarch... the Patriarchs of the Zhao and Li Families are all mid-stage innate experts!"

However, by the time he finished speaking, Lu Sheng's figure had already vanished from the elder's sight.

"Ah! What kind of situation is this!"

The elder of the Luo Family showed a look of frustration on his face.

He hadn't expected that since Luo Cheng's return, his personality had changed so greatly, not even waiting for him to finish speaking, he had already walked out of the Luo Family estate.

What kind of situation is this?

"This won't do, I must gather the Luo Family members. We absolutely cannot allow the Zhao and Li Families to bully our Patriarch!"

"After all, the Patriarch is still a noble from Fengxing County, not something these country bumpkin families can compare to!"

A fierce expression surfaced on the elder of the Luo Family's face.

He then turned and left, preparing to gather the Luo Family members. Although the Luo Family wasn't particularly strong, they at least had some postnatal martial artists, even some minor entry-level fighters.

After all, holding up the entire Luo Family with just one innate martial artist wasn't nearly enough.

At this moment, Lu Sheng had already left the Luo Family, slowly making his way toward the Zhao and Li Families.

"In doing this, it involves these disputes, it truly reflects the profound nature of the eighth-tier Life Realm, the world's consciousness targeted... has come so swiftly!"

As Lu Sheng walked the streets, he slightly squinted his eyes, his mind working rapidly.

Since attaching himself to Luo Cheng, first it was Luo Baochang and his son, then Uncle Xingyun, and now the Zhao and Li Families, in all these events, Lu Sheng could keenly sense a malicious force descending upon him.

It's somewhat due to being an outsider.

And the world consciousness of an eighth-tier Life Realm is much stronger than that of a seventh-tier. Previously, though he'd face crises, there had always been a period of time.

"In the end, I was a bit careless. Even after practicing the Celestial Demon Technique for so many years, though I've become more skilled, my complacency due to proficiency led to my carelessness. This Martial Arts Realm is, after all, just the first eighth-tier Life Realm I've entered, yet I was still careless."

"It seems... after resolving these matters, I must remain cautious. If the world consciousness strengthens its targeting, whether I can cultivate this avatar to the eighth-tier is uncertain!"

Lu Sheng shook his head and then continued toward the Zhao and Li Families.

...

Inside the Zhao Family mansion.

The Patriarchs of both the Zhao and Li Families were seated in the hall, and a member of the Zhao Family reported.

"Patriarch, that Luo Cheng is heading towards our Zhao Family!"

Upon hearing this, the Patriarchs of the Zhao and Li Families exchanged a glance, placing their teacups down with a faint smile.

"It seems our little nobles from Fengxing County are getting a bit anxious, and it's just the beginning... yet they cannot keep their composure!"

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family chuckled, showing no signs of worry.

The Patriarch of the Li Family spoke calmly: "It's just a mere peak postnatal youngster. Although I don't know how he dealt with that Luo Baochang, it's actually beneficial. With the Luo Family now lacking an innate martial artist, it's advantageous to us!"

"Moreover... our methods are covert. Even if they know it's our two families' doings, as long as we deny it, what can they do?"

"Act against us? I'm afraid this little noble from Fengxing County doesn't have the ability!"

The Patriarch of the Li Family's voice carried a hint of disdain.

In the Martial Arts Realm, while the status from merits is intimidating, ultimately, strength is what matters. Without sufficient strength... one should honestly hold onto the status from merits and let the court support you.

As for other matters... it's best not to get involved.

The Patriarchs of the Zhao and Li Families laughed heartily, chatting without any regard for Lu Sheng.

With the support from Lord Xingyun, they had long shed any reservations about this noble from Fengxing County.

Just as the two were immersed in their lively conversation, a series of muffled sounds abruptly echoed from outside the Zhao Family mansion.

Immediately, a few figures shot back as if fired from a cannon, crashing heavily into the hall, making the once peaceful hall become a scene of disarray.

Faced with this scene, the expressions of the Zhao and Li Family Patriarchs turned thoroughly grim.

Yet they remained silent, their gazes fixated sharply on the entrance.

Soon, they saw a figure dressed in white slowly walk into the hall.

Seeing the newcomer, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family finally spoke up, "So it's the esteemed noble from Fengxing County gracing us with your presence. However, with such actions... might you be showing too little regard for my Zhao Family!"

"Though you are a noble, my Zhao Family... is, after all, a century-old noble house in Fengxing County!!"

The Patriarch of the Zhao Family roared, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from him.

The mid-stage innate physical power radiated a frightening pressure.

The Patriarch of the Li Family, though not mobilizing his cultivation, sat on the side, still emanating an oppressive aura that induced shivers.

The combined aura of the two bore down on Lu Sheng, yet, facing their imposing demeanor, Lu Sheng remained utterly calm, as tranquil as an ancient well.

Lu Sheng slowly lifted his head, his gaze landing on the two, and with a grin, he said, "So it's your two families... taking action against my Luo Family!"

Upon hearing this, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family seemed about to say something but abruptly, as if seeing something terrifying, his pupils contracted slightly.

The next moment...

A white figure left a trail of numerous afterimages within the hall.

As those afterimages emerged, a series of muffled sounds resonated within the entire hall.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The bursting muffled sounds instantly shook the entire hall, and amidst the tumult, faint screams could be heard reverberating.
